Compatibility with Vite

[nickcotton]

Hi! I've recently been exploring migrating our rails app from webpack/webpacker to Vite.

I'm getting an error whenever I try to import a specific route. I do not get the same error when using webpacker.

import { plannerAdminPagePreviewPath } from "@/app/javascript/routes";

undefined is not an object (evaluating 'object[part] = routes')

I've seen similar errors mentioned before but not in relation to Vite.

Do you know if I'm missing something? Is there a config step I've left out? Thanks!

Set namespace = nil in your Js routes configuration file. That should help. If not, consider upgrade to 2.x.

Thanks, that worked! For anyone else that comes across this, I was using 2.x already.

Current 2.x default for namespace is this:

{
    namespace: -> { defined?(Webpacker) ? nil : "Routes" },
}

Is there any way I can detect Vite env setup easily and ensure it is nil there too?

I'm not 100% sure. I've been using the https://github.com/ElMassimo/vite_ruby gem to get Vite working but that wouldn't necessarily be true for everyone. Perhaps there's something useful there though.
